About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived at Family Medicine one morning, frowning over his clipboard. Suddenly, he noticed something odd on the wall behind him. On the wall was a poster for an old TV show, its colors faded and crooked. The delivery driver squinted, recognizing it as ‘Emergency!’ from his college days. He cleared his throat and said aloud, ‘Code Blue, Code Blue!’ Startled, everyone in the clinic turned around, including a little girl who asked her mom, ‘Why is that man yelling about a TV show?’
2. A sign appeared overnight on the fence outside Family Medicine: ‘Please leave your shoes here before entering.’ No one knew who put it up or why, but soon everyone started laughing and complying. Soon, people began leaving not only their shoes but also hats, umbrellas, and even purses. Inside, Dr. Smith just smiled and asked each new patient to take off whatever they brought. One day, a delivery driver arrived with his boots, umbrella, and three bags—only to discover that he’d left his keys in the car. A neighbor joked, ‘Maybe next time you should leave everything except yourself!’
3. One day after hours, an anonymous note appeared on the door of Family Medicine: 'For best service, please wear socks.' No one knew who left it or why. Soon enough, everyone in town started showing up with their socks on—even the delivery driver wore a pair when dropping off prescriptions. Word spread quickly, and soon the sign outside read: ‘Family Medicine at Gabriel Park—Wear Socks for Best Service.’ It became such a joke that during winter months, patients would bring extra pairs as gifts for the staff.
4. One night, while the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a voice crackled over Family Medicine’s intercom: ‘All employees must report to the parking lot immediately.’ When they arrived, an old janitor was waiting with a flashlight. He announced, ‘We’re having a surprise party for Dr. Smith!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another late-night prank. The next day, nobody could resist teasing poor Dr. Smith about his unexpected birthday celebration in the parking lot.
